Long wait times before Ctrl + Alt + Delete Login Screen Appears?

Hello EE, I am trying to narrow down the cause as to why domain joined Windows 7 x64 Ent computers take a very long time to get to the Ctrl + Alt + Delete login screen?

Scenario, remote users off the domain power on their laptops and it can take anywhere from 5 minutes upwards of 30 minutes for them to reach the login screen.

The one variable I have found to work past these long wait times is to disable the wireless adapter either hardware switch of FN hotkey and it will resolve this issue.

Another variable I have noticed is that if the wireless network in their area, if they have never connected it to it before, this is not a problem, only if they have saved the wireless network does it present a problem.

My thought here is it could be related to our Check Point VPN software but have not yet had the time to test with this removed.
